Ahimsa: in the Light of Indian Sages || Om Namah Sadgurudevay || Ahimsa: In the View of Indian Sages Ahimsa is a complicated question. It is a Yogic word, the word which points out to the inner spiritual Sadhana, but later on people linked it with the violence of living beings of the external world. Compiled and Interpreted by: Blessed Disciple of Most Revered Sri Paramhans Ji Maharaj Swami Adgadanand Ji Shri Paramhans Ashram Shakteshgarh, Chunar-Mirzapur, U.P. Publisher: Shri Paramhans Swami Adgadanand Ji Ashram Trust 5, New Apollo Estate, Mogra Lane, Opp. Nagardas Road Andheri (East), Mumbai – 400069 India Most Respectfully Dedicated At The Holy Feet Of Most Revered Swami Sri Paramanand Ji Yogiraj Matchless Grandsire Of The Era Introduction 1 INTRODUCTION Ahimsa is originally a term of Yogic-practice. When Ahimsa, truth (Satya), non-stealing (Asteya), celebacy (Brahmacharya) and state of possessionlessness (Aparigrah) all are imbibed properly, entry into the higher regions of Yog becomes possible. Dharna (power of retention) meditation (Dhyan) and (Samadhi) trance ultimate Realization (Kaivalya Gyan) become attainable through them. They are known as moral conduct or mental disposition (Sheel) and Atomism (Anubrat). They are the synonyms of Ahimsa. No Sadhana like Ahimsa exists separate from them. Actually the messengers of the society floated this term ‘Ahimsa’ for injecting religious force to the idea of disarmament otherwise it is against our tradition. Since hoary past or the beginning of the civilization arms commanded an honourable place in our country. There is none among our gods or demons who is without any arm. Indra, the king of gods, possessed the weapon of lightning, Varun, god of sea had Pash (trap), Yam, god of death, wielded baton, Lord Shiv moved with a trident; Brahma was adorned with a lethal power and Vishnu with invisible discuss-shaped missile. In the great war between gods and demons when the gods got defeated, the goddesses jumped into the battle-field and defeated demons. Not only gods, even demons (Rakshas belonging to the culture of Raksh) were not inferior in operating weapons. Their military inventions too were not lesser in number. For Example- regaining life even after they got beheaded. Shukracharya, who was their mentor, used to reinfuse life in the army which lay dead. The invention of Raktbeej was miraculous. The more the drops of blood of demon fell on the ground, the greater the number of demons used to get up. Even she-demons were skilled in operating 2 Ahimsa: In The View of Indian Sages weapons. She-demons like Tadaka totally ruined the most prosperous country named Karush, established by Indra. Dense forest grew up there. Kings and rulers too created record by winning all the three worlds and came to be known as all-conquering emperors. They used to acquire military skill through Rajsuya Yagya and Ashwamedh Yagyas. Ashok, Samundragupt and Akbar are well-known historical kings who were all-victorious. Our ancestors used to reach up to the world of gods in quest of superior arms. Arjun had procured weapons from the world of gods. The same Arjun started trembling with fear after seeing the armies contronting each other, ready for the battle. He started praying Lord Krishna that he would not fight at all because it was sin to kill the family members. The Lord Krishna replied that if he did not fight, he would earn sin and would lose good reputation, name and fame. Arjun retorted that it would be better if the armed Kauravas killed him defenseless, he would prefer death to such a sinful life. A man without arms is indeed a dead man, a corpse. What would have been the fate of Arjun, had Duryodhan got him defence-less without arms. Everybody knows that he had plotted to finish the whole family of Arjun - alongwith Kunti, in Lakshagrih erected for burning the Pandavas to ashes. Today out of the descendants of such heroic ancestors if a handful of them on account of their hot temper, turn out to be terrorists, people find it difficult to escape and save themselves. Neither the Muslim rulers nor the Britishers nor the present governments have thrown the all conquering Indians to the present miserable plight, it is so because of the misleading interpretations of a part of a Shlok of the Geeta which says- ‘Chaturvarnyam Maya Srishtam’ [ÛeelegJe&CÙeË ceÙee me=°ced] and the social system laid down during the period of Pushyamitra Shung by the professors of Dharm on the basis of their material Introduction 3 education. It is true that Varna is an inner orderly step of the spiritual evolution aimed at realizing the soul, which is available to each and everyone who is in human body. But unfortunately the social legislators interpreted Varna as caste and divided human beings in four principal castes on the basis of their birth compelling them to earn their livelihood, according to the calling of their castes. They declared it to be their religion and forced them on the strength of the royal military to perpetuate the system and termed the life and death of the creatures of God as Himsa (violence) and Ahimsa (non-violence) turning people methodically into cowards who were out of wits and terrified. All the castes were dissatisfied with the system of professional reservations and the concept of Himsa and Ahimsa, so the legislators of the society planned to hammer the idea of disarmament so that the disgruntled castes might not raise up arms against them, so that the Shudras who belonged to the lowest caste meant for menial service of the persons of higher castes might not become Vident under any condition. They were trained to believe that they were not meant to revolt when some one looted them. If they flouted this rule they were destined to go to hell. But Brahmins were allowed to raise up arms if someone grabbed their things which they got in donation. Vaishyas too could take up arms if any cow was in trouble. Kshatriya alone were allowed to raise up arms. Out of one hundred persons only seven happened to belong to the caste of Kshatriya and the number seven included women, children and old persons. If the invaders captured two of three such persons, all the remaining people could easily be enslaved and rounded up like sheep and goat. The cunning social organizers imposed strict restrictions on general education in order to perpetuate the exploitation. They laid down canons that only Brahmins could receive 4 Ahimsa: In The View of Indian Sages education and only they could impart it. The Mahabharat, our representative cultural book and the Geeta which is the holiest of all the holy books emphasizing the essential unity were banned for general reading and even for keeping in the homes of common people. New Smriti Granthas (books) were prepared and they were declared as Dharm Shastras (scriptures). It was compulsory in our culture to get proper training for operating weapons. When the devilish forces like Ravan got upper hand in the society they used to create hurdles in performing Bhajan (worship). They imposed the system of eat, drink and be merry. The saints and Mahatmas, on failing to convince and convert the mind of such terrorists, used to train the kings and rulers of those days for eliminating the persons of devilish nature. They made the modes and methods of self- realization available to all and sundry. Thus we see that wars and battles are not opposed to Ahimsa they rather restored it and resolved the problems. People would always have to be ready and prepared for them. Intensive training for the operation of weapons is indispensable for the self-defence and the protection of Religion and culture. The terrorists never fall short of weapons. Disarmament even today is regarded to be meant for simple and peace-loving people only. Only they plead for disarmament who have stored in their armoury enough weapons and do not want that their monopoly is disturbed. This is the main cause of the unrest. Mutual cooperation, kindness, brotherhood, tolerance, sympathy are most needed for leading a happy social life but they do not cover Ahimsa. Now we should examine how and in what way Ahimsa has been dealt with by our ancestors. - Swami Adgadanand Ahimsa: In the Light of the Geeta 5 Ahimsa: In the Light of the ‘Geeta’ ‘Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta’ is the oldest and the first scripture of the world because it is the systematically scribed primordial knowledge enunciated by Lord Shri Krishna. The Lord has Himself declared it to be a scripture- ‘Eti Guhyatamam Shastramidmuktam Mayanagha.’ [Fefle ieg¢eleceb MeeŒeefceocegòebâ ceÙeeveIe~] (Geeta, 15/20)- “This most occult unraveled Shastra (scripture) has been revealed by Me.” After knowing it you would know all and would attain the cherished goal, the eternal life. So the Geeta is your real scripture. It has been transmitted at first on earth. In India at Kurukshetra it was retransmitted. Thus we find it to be the oldest and the only scripture containing complete and perfect all encompassing knowledge of the world. Whenever people forgot it, they found themselves in hot water. When it reappeared, it removed confusion and disorders. When the armies of Kauravas and Pandavas took position in the battle-field of Kurukshetra, Arjun said, “O, Keshav! Kindly take my chariot in between the two armies so that I could see against whom I have to fight.” As soon as Arjun inspected the armies, he became nervous. He said, “O, Lord! I would not fight such battle in which I have to kill my own brothers. Such a battle is sinful and contrary to the religion.” He said the duty towards family is supreme and Sanatan- ‘Kuldharmah Sanatanah.’ [kegâueOecee&: meveelevee:~] “If I fight, the Sanatan (eternal) religion would be demolished and subverted.

    RELS 450 Seminar on Revisiting Religion after 9/11: Religion, Violence & Conflict (M-W 4-5:15) September 11, the war in Iraq, bombing in cities from Madrid, London to Oslo—recent years have seen an alarming global increase in religiously motivated violence, often inspired too by nationalism, colonialism, ethnic conflict, and fundamentalism. FUNDAMENTALISM Nationalism Secularism Jihad Colonialism PLURALISM War on Terror Ethnic Conflict There has perhaps never before been a time when the study of religion and violence has been so relevant to global society. RELS 450 will engage this timely and controversial topic by examining Hindu-Muslim conflicts in India, conflicts between Christian evangelicals and African animists, terrorism and the “war on terror” after 9/11, and the escalating role of religious rhetoric in American politics today. “Politics encircle us today like the coils of a snake, from which one cannot get out. In order to wrestle with this snake, I have been experimenting by introducing religion into politics.” -- M. K.

The idea of a religious state has no place in the mind of the modern man.”--Jawahalal Nehru, 1950 “The idea that religion and politics don’t mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country.” --Jerry Falwell in a sermon delivered on July 4, 1976 RELS 450 Capstone Seminar on Revisiting Religion after 9/11: Religion & Violence (MW 4-5:15 MYBK 119) Dr. Zeff Bjerken Office: 4 B Glebe, room 202 Dept. of Religious Studies Office hours: M/W 9:15-10:45; T/R: 10-11 College of Charleston E-mail: [email protected] Phone: 953-7156 Course Description Religious violence is a slippery topic, one that is sensitive, complex, potentially offensive, but of major importance.

  • Formative Years
    CHAPTER 1 Formative Years Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869, in Porbandar, a seaside town in western India. At that time, India was under the British raj (rule). The British presence in India dated from the early seventeenth century, when the English East India Company (EIC) first arrived there. India was then ruled by the Mughals, a Muslim dynasty governing India since 1526. By the end of the eighteenth century, the EIC had established itself as the paramount power in India, although the Mughals continued to be the official rulers. However, the EIC’s mismanagement of the Indian affairs and the corruption among its employees prompted the British crown to take over the rule of the Indian subcontinent in 1858. In that year the British also deposed Bahadur Shah, the last of the Mughal emperors, and by the Queen’s proclamation made Indians the subjects of the British monarch. Victoria, who was simply the Queen of England, was designated as the Empress of India at a durbar (royal court) held at Delhi in 1877. Viceroy, the crown’s representative in India, became the chief executive-in-charge, while a secretary of state for India, a member of the British cabinet, exercised control over Indian affairs. A separate office called the India Office, headed by the secretary of state, was created in London to exclusively oversee the Indian affairs, while the Colonial Office managed the rest of the British Empire. The British-Indian army was reorganized and control over India was established through direct or indirect rule. The territories ruled directly by the British came to be known as British India.

  • M.A. Education
    PHILOSOPHICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES OF EDUCATION MA [Education] First Year MAEDN - 401 RAJIV GANDHI UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION Philosophy, science and education have been very important components to develop and enrich the personality of individuals and citizens of a country. Philosophy develops a high degree of control over own powers and actions. Philosophers have, therefore, earned much respect and credibility throughout history. Philosophical and Sociological Perspectives of Education is divided into two parts–one that deals with the philosophical perspectives and the second which examines the sociological perspectives. Sociology, according or Duncan, is the scientific study of dynamic processes of interactions of person and the patterns these form in relation to biological, psychological and cultural influences. Thus, sociology studies social phenomena, social organizations and cultural patterns. It seeks to discover the laws that govern social relations and the forces that develop the personality of the individual. As you know, the book is divided into two parts. the part concerning sociological perspectives deals with various aspects of educational sociology–the social context of education, agents of socialization, the impact of social groups on education systems, the close relationship between education and culture, social stratification and the function of education as an instrument of social change. Social interaction is the foundation of society. The book discusses the development of groups and the characteristics of group dynamics. Numerous thinkers have put forward various theories of socialization; some of the important theories are discussed in this book. This book–Philosophical and Sociological Perspectives of Education– has been designed keeping in mind the self-instruction mode (SIM)format and follows a simple pattern, wherein each unit of the book begins with the Introduction followed by the Unit Objectives for the topic.

Since pilgrimage is an integral part of Indian culture and has significant participation, pilgrimage sites and centres are being used by political and corporate organisations to communicate specific messages. The political relevance of religion in our contemporary world cannot be disputed, particularly in the context of a growing consumerist culture and the divisive tactics of most political organisations. In such a scenario, pilgrimage traditions and centres are periodically taken over by political groups.
